Wired In The Blood
Sylencer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contempt filled lies, bought and sold
You don't have to die, just so you can live
You just have to live, live before you die
Wired, wired in the blood
Desire, wired, wired in the blood
Such is life, never as it seems
I don't have to die, just so I can live
I just have to live, live before I die
Wired, wired in the blood
Desire, wired in the blood
The fire, wired in the blood
Empire, wired, wired in the blood
I'm wired, wired in the blood
Desire, wired in the blood
The fire, wired in the blood
Empire, wired, wired in the blood
